♪. maria: it is time for the hot topic of hour unsealing justice that without criminal charges of hamas leaders in terrorist atrocities following october 7 attack on israel the complaint accusing hezbollah of providing weapons and financial support after the bodies of six hostages including israeli american hersh goldgerg polin found in the tunnel system under rafah hamas chief thought to be hiding somewhere in the vast underground network as well, the white house has been impressed by fox peter doocy as to why the administration puts the onus on israeli prime minister benjamin

netanyahu to close the cease-fire deal instead of the terrorist group. watch. >> in the presidents public comments, why is he harder on benjamin netanyahu then he is on the terrorist leader of hamas. >> the president has been very, very clear about hamas leaders and what they've done. he was asked the question and answered it directly but hamas is responsible they have more american blood on their hands. maria: in turkey a group of nationalist attacked u.s. marines during the uss placing bags over the heads and shouting yagi go home accusing the united states military of killing their soldiers and thousands of palestinians, 15 people arrested after the assault, so much to talk about this morning, let's first get into the sanctions. good morning to everybody great to have everybody, the sanctions on the terrorist leader of ha

hamas, what is your reaction, what is the impact of this, your thoughts. >> the d.o.j. spent 11 months and we are finally getting an indictment, i think this is political, at the end of the day the rule of law existed for months and months and redoing it 62 days before an election. if the u.s. really wanted to get the hamas leaders they are not just going to say i give up and come here, we have to have push for extradition treaties, we need to push for rewards for their capture and we need to dismantle every single homegrown terrorist network here in the united states because people here are providing material support to hamas. it needs to be accorded effort, you cannot do it with the stop of an indictment because to the american people it is laughable at this point. maria: the idea of sanctions against the leader of hamas, this guy is hanging out in an underground tunnel. what does he care about sanctions. by the way we're almost a year into this, october 7. now we finally get attacks on

the leadership of hamas. it sounds like too little too late. >> these tunnels are bigger than the london underground, i think people need to realize don't forget that kamala harris an joe biden both said the redline was a rafah incursion which of course eventually happen but that's where the hostages were eventually found by going back to the leader of hamas, we were talking about prison exchanges the generational impact that this has, when we were in 1989 was held by israel for four life sentences for killing six israelis and some palestinians as well and he was exchanged 11 years later for 1026 palestinians in exchange for one israeli soldier, when we talk about the cease-fire deals this has major impacts for generations to come, keep in mind he was the mastermind of the october 7 attacks. maria: i think we see the reaction from the d.o.j. for one reason one reason only that is

the election is 60 plus days away and they have lost the confidence of the jewish vote in my opinion, this was a redline for the jewish voter out there. the fact that this administration held back weapons to israel during the fight of his life was the redline in my view for a lot of jewish voters they have to show that they doing something, look what's going on on campuses students are going back to school for the new school year at columbia university, they were met with anti-israel protesters right outside of the gate. watch this. [shouting] >> a campus statue alma mater was vandalized with red p paints

150 protesters march outside of the school this week the crowd getting so rowdy the police captain they arrested two people when all was said and done one pro-israel protester is calling for accountability. >> i wasn't really a political person but now i'm a single policy voter israel straight through and through, is it kamala harris say she sympathizes with human emotion of the protesters, when you sympathize with terrorism, joe biden, where izzy has he made a speech about anything, and american got shot in the head where is everyone where is the accountability i don't get anywhere. i might be going off the lamb here but if you're jewish and you vote for democrats you are crazy, you are insane. maria: wasn't it rafah that kamala harris an joe biden said don't you dare go into the idf to benjamin netanyahu don't you dare go into rafah and israelis come back and say that's with the terrorist are, where were all of those dead hostages in rafah? >> now we know they are dead. isn't it mind-boggling to think we have allowed this to happen and we stood back and watched.

i still remember when the iranians took americans back in tehran. maria: this is what they do. >> the shame and the angst of the nation, how could this happen to us, the american republic and the greatest military in the world and were being held at bay by these kids who have taken her people and her hostages. i remember that feeling as an american. i cannot imagine what it's like to be in is really right now and have to deal with that. they are living in. it was one thing when we were here in the u.s. and that was happening in tehran. they are living with it within their neighborhoods they are seeing it in the fact the u.s. and other nations are not supported them i cannot fathom what that must be like and the gentleman who spoke agreed how can you be jewish and support kamala harris are any democrats.

maria: you go back to no deterrence whatsoever on iran and you go back to this administration obsessed with the nuclear deal and obsessed with doing business with iran. iran is behind this and we are talking about hamas and hezbollah. what about getting in front of iran. >> we have sanctions against iran, march 14 is when biden decided to waive sanctions and open up an axis of $10 billion, march 14 is when we lost respect overseas, march 14 when the terrorist decided they were going to dance on the graves of soldiers that's what biden here instead they opened up an unleased massive funding for nuclear program in iran now are sitting here with our hands under our butts and wondering what we do, nothing. maria: that was after the boston afghanistan withdraw. benjamin netanyahu is getting ridiculed across the board he agreed two weeks ago to a

cease-fire and what did hamas do they did nothing they killed six innocent hostages. maria: let's take a short break a selloff on stocks. in short break and will come back with this, slow start for september markets. nvidia suffering 279 billion other wipeout yesterday. the biggest in u.s. history, the stock and what another preset the chipmaker facing the subpoena of a anti-hunter growing antitrust suit. victoria fernandez is here with her take on the market and the economy. don't miss that you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪(voya)♪ there are some things that work better together. like your workplace benefits

maria: welcome back another negative tone look at futures indicated a decline at trading dow industrial downward or two, the nasdaq and 119 in the s&p lower by 21 stocks kicked off september with deep losses closing out the worst day yesterday since august 5 led by a selloff in chip stocks as well as yesterday's weak manufacturing purchasing managers index data fueling fears of a slowdown take a look at the damage the dow industrials were down 626 at the close yesterday the s&p was down 120 in the nasdaq was down 577 at 4:00 o'clock on wall street, nvidia selloff continues this morning and plunged nearly 10% yesterday suffering a record 279 billion-dollar wipeout and market value the stock is extending the losses of what and how% after the department of justice is peanut nvidia as part of an antitrust investigation joining the cross chief market strategist victoria fernandez, good to see you thank you for

being here. >> your reaction to nvidia. >> we had the whole sector really run a prolonged period of time even with the pulldown that we seen nvidia is up over 100% year to date so it still has the gains but they bedded an overbought position we've been trimming the names all year long, not surprised to see a pullback with negative news coupled with the earnings from last week that weren't bad but did not knock the ball out of the park like many people were expecting. maria: you been trimming along the way your own nvidia, tell us about your thoughts on this investigation. >> i don't think the investigation is relevant in the long term meta has been investigated for antitrust reasons more times than i can count, ditto google they go after the big tech because that's where the money is why did you rob the banks, that is where the money is there trying to get money in their coffer so they can try to justify spending

more. i think nvidia will earn $5 that means it's trading with the pe somewhere in the 20s, cheap going 85%. maria: the broader market also under severe pressure the last couple of days we will get the july jolt report at 10:00 a.m. eastern and then economist expecting 8.1 million job openings available at the end of july and the august adp number tomorrow morning followed by the august drudge report on friday which could determine the size of the rake assessments policy meeting september 17 and 18th but does the job story become that much more important after the bureau of labor statistics downgraded all the jobs two weeks ago. >> becomes more important because powell has told you that's where the looking they feel like they have ventilation under control. i'm not sure i'm 100% in agreement with that statement but they're focusing on jobs and i think we have to as well. the jewels report is more important than the friday numbers. it's where we've been getting signs all along that the labor

market is higher reading down tremendously in the amount of people working multiple jobs, temporary work, all those numbers have been increasing which is a negative sign for the market and it gives us a little bit of a preview to what's going on with non- foreign payrolls which as we know can be influenced by different kind of factors. maria: how do you want to allocate capital going into urine and an economy that is clearly slowing whether jobs are the consumer were everywhere you look. >> we've been allocating to the defensive component of the portfolio. that does not mean you don't have exposure to the other areas, yes we have exposure to the chips and tech but we've been building into the staples, coca-cola, some of the tried-and-true names that do well in the defensive part of the market, healthcare is another area we've been investing in and we know financials have done really well and have a pullback. we like the area to with what were seen with the yield curve

normalizing. maria: do you agree? >> i do i think is a thoughtful approach. i'm a gross guy i like to say were growing and let's go for it. there is a place for a stock like chubb or encompass health or something that pays a dividend that you might not put in a portfolio otherwise but is was at the volatility. i own a lot of chip stocks i was out about yesterday having the other names balances it out. >> add fixed income to help with the cash flow. maria: great to get your take. victoria fernandez. how supportive her subpoena secretary of state anthony blinken over the botched withdraw from afghanistan with 13 goldstar families still have not been contacted by joe biden or kamala harris how sport affairs pennsylvania congressman scott perry is here with more on that. plus the house agenda and a slew of china related hearings next week. you're watching "mornings with maria". live on fox business. stay with us. ♪

disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. michael mccaul writing a letter to anthony blinken saying current and former state department officials have confirmed that you served as a final decision-maker for the department on the withdrawal and evacuation. you are therefore in a position to important for under potential legislation to prevent the catastrophic mistake of the withdrawal, joining the pennsylvania congressman scott perry with the house foreign affairs intelligence and transportation infrastructure committees as well as the freedom caucus. he retired army national racketeer who served in iraq. good to see you, thank you for your service to our great country. what do you have to say about all of us. here we have a subpoena to anthony blinken because of the withdrawal. have you heard back? >> not to my knowledge we have not heard back. he is required to appear on or before september 19.

unfortunately, the questions continue to linger. we had mckinsey and, milley, we did not get answers, mckenzie told me personally that the rules of engagement were appropriate and obviously they were not appropriate because our side and our folks had eyes on the bomber at abbey gate and describing him in intelligence said that he was going to conduct this attack yet they couldn't get the green light to serve as a target so to speak. we also know that the state department was put in charge of the military withdraw and you see the results. his people that have no idea what they're doing handling a situation that is chaotic and grave and the consequences have lost lives. a couple without that the administration officials, president biden and vice president harris, not tim walz have contacted the families of

the goldstar families that have lost their loved ones. america demands answers. this is a stain on america's credibility. this is the new imagery of leaving hanoi with the last helicopter pulling off the top of the embassy and i know you're showing the planes leaving with people clinging to them that sell to their deaths. we seen the taliban conducting parades with our equipment using our equipment and expurgated around the globe to minimize american sovereignty and jeopardize national security. anthony blinken is potentially the guy where the buck stopped in america wants to know the answers to all the questions about how this happened and so it doesn't happen again. we would like anybody to be held accountable. can there be one person held

accountable on this administration. maria: , the years has said she was the last person in the room when making these plans the botched withdraw and i guess i want to get your take on the broader foreign policy out of this administration and why they have been 70 missteps. what is their thinking in terms of foreign policy and does not continue should kamala harris when the selection. look at the approach to communist china. we now learn a former top aide, the deputy chief of staff to new york governor kathy hochul in andrew cuomo has been arrested and charged with being an acting agent to the chinese government. 41-year-old linda son accused of using her high rank to serve the chinese comet's party in exchange for millions of dollars of gifts her husband was also arrested to worked in state government for 15 years to block taiwanese leaders from accessing

the governor provided unauthorized invitation to chinese leaders for travel to the u.s. and sought to state the states messaging on china local spokesperson given this statement to fox. she was hired by the executive chamber more than a decade ago we terminated her implement merger 2023 after discovering evidence of misconduct. we reported her actions to law enforcement and assisted law enforcement throughout the process as the house could vote on china related bills on the upcoming china week. i'm going to get to the china week in a second i would like to know why the chinese communist party is so effective at getting inside the gates of america and so effective at getting close to leading democrats look eric swalwell look at dianne feinstein i chinese by driving your car for 20 years eric swalwell was helped by a chinese by at local elections, what is going on. >> is among other things the new democrat party flaunting with

the globalist and they don't see a problem with china, that the other side of the equation that the democrat party does not see a problem with totalitarian regimes and government. bernie sanders who honeymooned in russia. i'm talking the ussr and now you tim walz who's taking dozens of trips taking his class to dozens of trips in china and the virtues of china. these folks don't get it that these people that they nuzzle up to are our enemies. imagine how shocked they are when our enemy is inside of the gates that they invited them into. linda sue was on a conference call in the pandemic that the competent interpublic was not invited to with the new york state government regarding the response and whether china was involved. what do you expect when you do things like that. >> it is worse than that for years beginning in 2016 the

democrats were screaming russia, russia, trump leader with russia, russia. throughout the entire process, instead of focusing on the lie that hilary clinton made up about donald trump they should look at our number one adversary and they should've stopped the number one adversary that is common is china getting inside of the gates of america. instead we have a credible access so much so with a surveillance balloon traveling the country for a week. chinese police stations on the ground in america. their own police, really. fentanyl flowing within the country killing american citizens. we have theft of intellectual property going on for decades and now you have people in high positions with spies in their office. the deputy chief of staff for the new york governor. give me a break and senators all over washington as i just mentioned eric swalwell, why has the democrat party been so easy on communist china allowing this

kind of access? >> i think it's because they love the activity of the chinese communist party vis-à-vis its citizens and they wish they could have control. let's remember even though you can take a trip to china, their citizens live under social credits and mass surveillance under a daily basis. the united states, this administration with the vice president running for president is sending john podesta who is john kerry's stunt over to talk to them about climate change. the chinese are the biggest submitters on the planet they're not interested in climate change. what they're interested in is hobbling america through the green new deal which i'm sure that they support and having their adversary weekend. there adversary is as we are weakening us because the democrat party loves the control that the chinese communist party has over its people. maria: no question about the 50000 chinese nationals out of came to the wide-open border to

american the last two years, no questions about the constant propaganda on tiktok and other places from communist china. we are going there to kiss the ring of jews and paying to work on this relationship. i want to talk about this next week congress back in session a potential government shutdown at the end of september when funding is set to run out. i reported on this program the house speaker mike johnson wants to tie the continuing resolution to extend government funding for much of 2025 to the save act. that would help secure the upcoming election by preventing noncitizens from voting. you have that, do you think these would have success for attaching the say back to the cr and what happens when it gets to the senate doesn't it die? what about the china we, what are you expecting. >> china week i'm expecting to see a lot of information that shows that the united states is vulnerable to china and we need

to stiffen our results and disallow them from beating their stock market and buying up american land simple reciprocity with china would go a long way that's what i see for china week. regarding the spending the house does not have a willing partner in the senate they move no appropriation bills through on the floor. i think you'll see a cr with the save act and i think we need to leave town and that's what has to pass, the senate will have to pass that it also secure our election in november that's what i hope the strategy is and that's what i hope the outcome is. maria: i don't understand why chuck schumer would not want to ensure that only american citizens are voting in the upcoming election what is the problem. real quick before you go here in a tight race in pennsylvania yourself against janelle democrat said looking to flip your see, how do you feel the method down ballot races, what are your expectations for the selection. >> democrats are interested in

flipping the seeds across pennsylvania and the country for years the thing is they have a terrible message people cannot afford groceries they cannot afford electricity bills, they look at crime running rampant across the country in a wide-open border and embarrassment on the international stage. people vote with their wallets and pocketbooks and they don't see this administration or the next changing any of that so i don't think you be productive for democrats in pennsylvania or elsewhere. maria: we will watch the tight races, good to see you. thank you so much congressman scott perry joining us. stay with us. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ business. it's not a nine-to-five proposition.

speech in new hampshire. all of this committee head of the abc presidential debate next week september 10 kamala harris campaign officials say she is going to propose expanding the startup expense deduction for the small business community from 5000 to $50000 she will also announce a goal of 25 million new small business applications in her first term should she be elected joining the wall street journal mainstreet columnist former chief speechwriter for president george w. bush bill mcgurn back with us. it's great to see you, think is for being here. what is your assessment of this race right now. >> like everyone else i have been following all of the polls there in the margin of error we know it's going to come down to the battleground states and is going to be tight. and i think kamala harris has done well rising in the polls, the real opportunity for donald trump to come back that to stop

her. clearly the press won't ask her tough questions or follow-ups it's tricky he has to be aggressive toward her in the debate but not personal. if he does that i think it can show how incoherent her plan is i think it'll do well. maria: great analysis i know you have a great op-ed titled kamala harris, is there a place for mcdonald's and the vice president opportunity economy, tell us more. >> i find that part attractive. i worked at mcdonald's to light kamala harris and the second gentleman doug inhofe he also worked at mcdonald's. is a great place to start. i wish you would talk about the opportunity that mcdonald's provides for million of people

one out of eight americans say they started at mcdonald's. what teaches and introduces young people and people with low skills or no education or little education or bad education and gives them the skills and by that the skills to work french fries as kamala harris says but the skills of showing up on t time, being courteous to customers, attentive to what your boss wants, those are the important skills for employers. they can teach anyone how to cook a burger. they need the other set of skills to produce reliable productive workers. maria: it is a great point and certainly we talk about the first job being so important but , here is has been talking about raising the minimum wage. what is the debate and where are you on the debate of whether minimum wage should be, is a job at mcdonald's something that is

going to give you those lessons that you just went through but not necessarily doing it at high levels in terms of your paycheck? >> exactly. when kamala harris talks about mcdonald's, it seems to be another example of the big american company not paying its workers enough, probably not paying their fair share of taxes according to her. she should look at the people, that focus on raising the minimum wage, two things they assume people are raising a family on that, very few minimum wage earners are soul providers for their family. so that is not really a contention. second you make labor to costly, people lose jobs at the bottom. i think getting on the first rung of ladder of opportunity is far more important than how much

you make. maria: this creating division and divisiveness and the country was on full display the other day when kamala harris was in detroit, she is getting slammed for allegedly faking this accident while speaking to the teachers union members in detroit, listen to this listen to how she sounded at the campaign event in detroit compared to the same comments to as speech union worker and pittsburgh hours later it wasn't what she said it was how she said it. watch. >> you better thank the union member for sick leave, you better think a union member for paid leave, you better think a union member for vacation time. thank union's for sick leave, thank union's for paid family leave, thank union's for your vacation time. maria: i don't know what to say about that, your reaction to the accident, what was that? >> i know when peter doocy asked

her and john pierre she claimed to not know what he is talking about. senior fox news white house correspondent grilling the white house on it , here is the clip. watch. >> when is the vice president have what sounds like a southern accent? >> i have no idea what you are talking about. >> she was talking about unions in detroit. >> i'm not going to entertain some question -- just hearing a sound so ridiculous. maria: hearing the accident sounded ridiculous is not the first time harris has been accused of faking an accident, last month she was accused of using a southern accent during an atlanta rally, what is this about, it's unnerving. >> there is something about democrats that cause them to put on the accents. i think her and karine

jean-pierre acting like they don't do what they're talking about. in a sense, a lot of people question kamala harris authenticity, she has repudiated so many of the policies that she once stood for, actually she has not done it herself the spokesman have done it. so people want to know, who is this woman running for president and when she does something like that. i think you become, the worst thing is to become a joke in politics. you can survive being thought bad but being thought a joke is deadly. maria: it is about authenticity isn't it. whether or not are you lying now or lying dead. >> people aren't falling for that's what we see in polls as she opens her mouth, we are not following for her garbage. >> that's why should they keep her silent. maria: will that work? , good to catch up with you, thank you for being here. >> thank you maria.

(jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to.

since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try? maria: welcome back. more whistleblowers coming forward about the failure and security to the pennsylvania trauma probably were he was nearly assassinated in butler. cheryl casone with the details. >> whistleblowers telling josh hawley that secret service personnel are unprepared and not properly trained to protect candidates, the whistleblower says that homeland security agents not good service agents were assigned to work on protecting detail at president trump butler pennsylvania valley but only giving it to our online training to prepare. >> i'm told the agent and homeland security agents were pulled off of child exploitation
